Bake It: Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

After using oatmeal cans for a few crafts, we had some extra oats to get rid of. And besides a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, the next best you thing you can do with oats is to bake cookies. My favorite recipe for oatmeal cookies is from the "Better Homes and Garden Cookbook". It makes a nice, moist and chewy cookie.

The recipe is simple. And although it calls for raisins, we substituted mini-chocolate chips. The mini-chocolate chips add just the right amount of sweetness.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing
bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30
seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda,
and, if desired, cinnamon and cloves. Beat until combined, scraping side
of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in
as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon,
stir in any remaining flour. Stir in rolled oats.
